Leapfrog Hospital Survey Data Center

Empower Your Members to Make Informed Healthcare Decisions

Today, consumers have more information available to them when choosing a car than they do when choosing a hospital. The Leapfrog Group is changing that by making hospital safety, quality, and outcomes information available to more healthcare consumers in more U.S. markets every year.

The annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey is the most robust national measure set comparing hospital safety, quality, and efficiency in the clinical areas consumers and healthcare purchasers value. Each year, we collect information from more than 1,300 urban and rural hospitals, including free-standing pediatric hospitals, throughout the U.S. Evidence-based, nationally standardized measures focus on hospital performance in three key areas:

How patients fare (i.e., rates of central-line infections and other hospital-acquired conditions, survival predictors, and rates of scheduled early elective newborn deliveries)

Resources used in caring for those patients (i.e. risk-adjusted length of stay and readmission rates for common acute conditions)
